Relations With Representation Theory
Consider the following slightly more general context. Suppose that n and m are two integers and xij for i = 1,...,n,j = 1,...,m, be commuting variables. Redefine Eij by almost the same formula:
with the only difference that summation index a ranges from 1 to m. One can easily see that such operators satisfy the commutation relations:
Here denotes the commutator . These are the same commutation relations which are satisfied by the matrices which have zeros everywhere except the position (i,j), where 1 stands. ( are sometimes called matrix units). Hence we conclude that the correspondence defines a representation of the Lie algebra in the vector space of polynomials of xij.

Famous quotes containing the words relations with, relations and/or theory:
“Society does not consist of individuals but expresses the sum of interrelations, the relations within which these individuals stand.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“It is commonplace that a problem stated is well on its way to solution, for statement of the nature of a problem signifies that the underlying quality is being transformed into determinate distinctions of terms and relations or has become an object of articulate thought.”
—John Dewey (1859–1952)
“The theory seems to be that so long as a man is a failure he is one of God’s chillun, but that as soon as he has any luck he owes it to the Devil.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
